In this activity, learners explore how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.

In this lab activity, learners act as fellow scientists and colleagues of Isaac Newton. He has asked them to independently test his ideas on the nature of motion, in particular his 2nd Law.

Perform this classic inertia demonstration to illustrate the transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy.

Learners test their "light-smarts" by playing a game called "Light Quest!" The game board represents an atom and each player represents an electron that has been bumped into the atom's outer unstable

Build your own version of the classic physics toy using simple materials.

In this activity, learners use a pencil, magnets, and mat board to illustrate Newton's Second Law.
